Thread: Soul Caliber Or Tekken ?

  1. #1

    Default Soul Caliber Or Tekken ?

    Due to this question hotting up in the SC3 topic, I think Ill just make a complete topic on it. Ill just quote myself from the SC3 convo
    Quote Originally Posted by Me
    No way, Tekken has always been superior, Im not trying to say I dislike or hate Soul Caliber, but Tekken does so much more. Firstly, Tekken has a much better cast of characters than SC. Tekkens combat is more varied, its got more moves for each characters. Where some characters share the same Style, all theres moves are different, while SC's cast each share moves that are too alike.
    Tekken doesnt have stupid modes like Chronicles of the sword which was terrible. And SC trys to do more than the average Fighter but fails extras like Create a Character , its just carrying alot more crap than good.
    Tekken focuses on its fighting, it has had modes that arent part of the actual fighting game, but there not taken too far, and are there mainly just for a bit of fun. Chronicle of the sword actually requires you to walk through a terrible experience to unlock silly things.
    And, Tekken has at least gone one step up, Tekken 5 changed the Tekken experience for the better, While SC3 still feels like the original SC. With a few changes that dont really do much.
    And Tekken has had better gameplay, the characters moves look better, they seem more extravigent. Its not just simple
    -> A + B
    This makes the gameplay easy in SC, and made SC1-2 easy, even though little has changed in SC3 combat wise, the AI has imporved vastly, and makes the game a little more challenging, but still easy to people who have played alot of it.
    In Tekken however, There are awesome combo's which, although harder to pull off, give you more satisfaction than the micro second moves from SC.

    WEll, that's a hard one. I'm goning to have to say Tekken. It has better charecters and each of the charecters have their own story like thing.

    Oh, thast right. Another good thing for Tekken is that it dosent seem that every character follows the same storyline, in SC, seems like every character follows a yellow brick road, until they have there final Cutscene, which arent great. As Tekken rewards you with a great FMV, while SC gives you a clip with the in game graphics.
    Another plus point for Tekken is that in Tekken 5 you can play the arcade versions of Tekken 1-3, what an extra !

    Soul Calibur characters have stories too...

    Overall, i'd have to say Tekken. As much as I love Soul Calibur, the tekken series just edges in front, due to how brilliant Tekken 3 and 5 were.

    Tekken 5, because I like being able to use various styles of martial arts and stuff, and somehow beating the crap out of someone with hands and feet seems more fun than twatting someone with a giant sword and them not being sliced in half.

    I really enjoyed both, even though I don't really like Fighting games. I really have to give it to Tekken. There were much more characters, with better combos. It was also much more challenging, with more characters to unlock and more playing modes. Also, there was much more variety between the characters. Can you play with a Kangaroo in SC? I think not. Also, the "dungeons" in SC were way too boring for me. I've probably made through one of those without quitting. Tekken had MUCH better graphics, IMO. Tekken had so much more to unlock than SC, allowing more Replayability. SC had cool characters, but some of them went a little overboard. Is an old man in a leather suit really nessessary? Probably not. Tekken didn't rely on skimpy clothing as much as SC did. Ivy would still have been a good character if she didn't show as much skin. Overall: Tekken: 9.5. SC: 5.5.
    eh?

    Soul Calibar,

    cause Unlike Tekken, it has a story, and not just an ending that comes out of nowhere.


    and well, dreddz, tekken does have characters that are alike.

    Kuma and Panda.
    Mokujin, that steel mokujin thing with a differant name and Unknown.
    Roger and Alex.


    pwned....
